This is the first time Bloomers has ever played a 4 set match....

Peya is 1-2 in 5 setters.... if it comes to that

I thought that can't be true, but you're right - he's won or lost all of his slam qualifying and main draw matches in straight sets apart from when he lost to Matthew Ebden in AO qualifying last year 6-3 5-7 8-6. 

The only 4-setter he's ever played before was a doubles match at Wimby last year when he teamed up with Jonny to beat Fyrstenberg & Kubot in 4 sets.

3-6 7-5 6-8

Great scores from our lads at the moment. Anyone know if there are any statistics showing how often the person serving first wins the deciding set?

Big service game for Bloomers coming up. Peya will have spent the last few games preparing himself mentally for this fifth set.

This is so impressive from Eaton.

Bloomers gets crucial second break

Surpirsed that players ocming back from 2-0 tend to lose as you would have thought momentum would be a major factor

That's true, but I imagine the effort taken to get 2 sets back and the sheer relief when you do might result in a bit of a lull at the start of the 5th, and if you get broken near the start of the 5th, your opponent gets a new lease of life. Which would make this next game a very crucial one!

Eaton had 0-30 there.... but now he'll serve for the second set at *5-3

30-30 for Bloomers.... massive point

LOL true, but it's because they've had winnable (= not easy, but possible) draws. I'd still rather maximise the number of Brits in the main draw who could conceivably win given an ok draw there. Anyway, if either of them get through here, I hope the LTA will give all the credit to the players rather than congratulating themselves.

Oh no, bp against Bloomers, graphically illustrating the dangers I mentioned above.

Eaton serves it out!

Patience is 2-4 is 5 set matches (hopefully he won't improve today), but did come from 0-2 down against Igor Andreev in the past

Bloomers saves BP....

Eaton takes the 2nd - this is a stunning performance so far. smile.gif

Deuce in the other one. Anyone get the feeling the Bloomers match could turn on who wins this game?

Huge game to win there and he's got over the immediate Peya comeback
